What the five facilities offer
Of the five boat storage facilities here, three are covered and two are outdoor. No indoor boat storage is listed in Columbus right now, so if you want walls around your hull you'll be trailering to a nearby town. Covered spots cost more than open ones, and they earn it. Georgia sun works on gelcoat, vinyl and trailer tires year round, and a roof takes the worst of it. Outdoor spots are fine for a short season or a boat you don't mind washing. Either way, ask about gate hours before you sign. Two facilities here run 24/7 access, and the rest likely don't.
Facilities worth a call

Small review counts aren't a knock. They just mean fewer people have said anything yet. Call and ask about space width and turning room.
Storing a boat in this climate
Humidity off the river plus summer sun is hard on a boat that sits. Pull the drain plug, tilt the tongue up and leave the cover loose enough to breathe. A tight cover traps moisture and molds the seats faster than an open one. Put a maintainer on the battery and check the trailer tires for flat spots if it's been parked a while. Grease the bearings before the first trip back to the ramp. Confirm your insurance covers the boat while it sits off your property, since some policies read differently for stored hulls. Walk the facility after a hard rain and see where water pools.
